Pros

You get some discounts when you buy Ford cars, but some people buy Ford cars cheaper even without employee discounts.

Cons

The company thinks they provide competitive benefits to employees, but some employees know they are not because their spouses work for competitors. The company advertises as if employees are very satisfied, but many of my coworkers don't agree.

First, they highly regard line-workers (UAW) more than competitors, but hard-working regular salaried employees are treated with drop-in-a-bucket annual bonuses.

Second, their employee discounts are laughable. My friend who is not a Ford employee can buy a Ford car for a cheaper price.

Third, employees' vacation days are one week less than the competitor in Warren, MI. If hired, you start with two weeks' vacation days, but new hires at the competitor in Warren, MI start with three weeks.

Advice to Management

Please share profits evenly with salaried employees. Improve employee discounts for Ford car purchases. Renovate facilities, especially the smelly restrooms that nobody wants to stay in for more than one minute.
